Just two weeks after winning reelection to his ninth term in
Congress, Steve King was stunned to learn the “Swamp” was
poised to unleash a treacherous media blitzkrieg designed to kill
his Congressional political career on the spot. The words, “They
believe they can force you to resign” ring in his ears yet today.
He knew Democrats and the media would pile on. Unfortunately, the
threat was from within his party and it was far more dangerous. The
Republican establishment, RINOs, elitists, globalists, and
NeverTrumpers needed him out of the way. This is the full story.
Addressing Cybersecurity through the lens of a war-time set of
varying battlefields is unique. Tying those to Zero Trust is also
unique. It has that unique POV that hasn't been covered before
combined with a highly credible view of and explanation of Zero
Trust.

This fascinating study investigates the experience of English
poverty between 1700 and 1900 and in the ways in which the poor
made ends meet. The phrase 'economy of makeshifts' has often been
used to summarise the patchy, desperate and sometimes failing
strategies of the poor for material survival. Incomes or benefits
derived from such strategies allegedly ranged from wages supported
by under-employment via petty crime through to charity, but
allusions to this array of makeshifts usually fall short of
answering vital questions about how and when the poor secured
access to them. This book represents the single most significant
attempt in print to supply the English 'economy of makeshifts' with
a solid, empirical basis and to advance the concept of makeshifts
from a vague but convenient label to a more precise yet inclusive
definition. Individual chapters written by some of the leading,
young historians of welfare examine how advantages gained from
access to common land, mobilisation of kinship support, resorting
to crime, and other marginal resources could prop up struggling
households. They suggest how the balance of these strategies might
change over time or be modified by gender, life-cycle and
geography. A comprehensive introduction summarises the state of
research on English poverty, and a thought-provoking conclusion
makes valuable suggestions for the direction of future research.
This book will be crucial for historians of social life and
welfare, of interest to researchers working on eighteenth
/nineteenth- century England and will be useful to undergraduates
seeking guidance on the historiography of poverty.
Presents a new perspective on the Industrial Revolution providing
far more than just an account of industrial change. Looks at the
development of the economic structures and includes chapters on
financing the revolution, technological change, markets and demand,
transport and food. The final section looks at economic change and
its impact and includes chapters on demography, the household,
families, authority and regulation, and the built environment.
Providing a complete summary of the various debates in the
literature on this period, making a strong case for re-introducing
a regional approach to the history of the age. -- .
The first comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the literature
on poverty, communal welfare systems and alternative welfare
strategies. Offers a new perspective on how we should conceptualise
poverty and how ordinary families and communities responded to that
poverty.. Indicates the need for new directions in the study of
poverty and welfare using previously unpublished results form one
of the biggest poor law databases in existence.. Argues that
welfare historians have paid too little attention to the
complexities of defining and measuring poverty, and a variety of
primary source material is used to reconsider the extent of poverty
in the period 1700-1850.. Provides the first systematic attempt to
discuss the regional dimensions of the welfare system in an English
context. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable
Development Goal 1, No poverty. -- .
A pastor's faith is supposed to be perfect, unbreakable. But we've
all known pastors who've lost their faith-and some who've even lost
their way. When a pastor falls, he leaves his congregation feeling
betrayed and misled. In this book, Pastor Steve King shares advice
that will help fellow pastors address the "slow leaks" in their
faith, empowering them to continue in their journey with Christ.

These proceedings record the papers presented at the 4th
International Conf- ence of B and Z Users (ZB 2005), held in the
city of Guildford in the south-east ofEngland.
Thisconferencebuiltonthesuccessofthepreviousthreeconferences in
this series, ZB 2000, held at the University of York in the UK, ZB
2002, held at theLaboratoire Logiciels Syst' emes R' eseaux within
theInstitut d'Informatique et Math' ematique Appliqu' ees de
Grenoble (LSR-IMAG) in Grenoble, France, and ? ZB 2003, held in
Turku in Finland hosted by Abo Akademi University and the
TurkuCentreforComputerScience(TUCS). ZB2005washeldattheUniversity
of Surrey, Guildford, UK, hosted by the Department of Computing.
The U- versity has always placed particular emphasis on the
applicability of its research and its relationship with industrial
partners. In this context it is building up its formal methods
activity as an area of strategic importance, with the establi- ment
of a new group within the Department of Computing, and also with
its support for this conference. B and Z are two important formal
methods that share a common conceptual origin; they are leading
approaches in industry and academia for the speci?- tion and
development (using formal re? nement) of computer-based systems. At
ZB 2005 the B and Z communities met once again to hold a fourth
joint c- ference that simultaneously incorporated the 15th
International Z User Meeting and the 6th International Conference
on the B Method.

Standing with my ninety-year-old uncle going through the list of
names from WW2 on the Abingdon War Memorial was a truly humbling
experience, not least because he knew many of the "boys" listed.
With tear-filled eyes and a trembling voice he recalled: "I sat
next to him at school" - "He was my best mate" - "He lived just up
the road" - "That one they shot before he even landed". Two months
later uncle died, but the conversation we had that day inspired me
to research each of the fifty-six names listed on our war memorial.
Stories of immense bravery, selflessness, good luck and bad luck,
and for sure, some stories still to be completed. But it didn't end
with the fifty-six. Stories need to be told of the many men who
also died in WW2 and are buried in Commonwealth War Graves in our
Abingdon cemeteries, but who are not remembered on the town's war
memorial, as well as heroes of ours who survived WW2. Some stories
are remarkable, but all are worth remembering.
This book and its sequel (Theories of Matter Space and Time:
Quantum Theories) are taken from third and fourth year
undergraduate Physics courses at Southampton University, UK. The
aim of both books is to move beyond the initial courses in
classical mechanics, special relativity, electromagnetism, and
quantum theory to more sophisticated views of these subjects and
their interdependence. The goal is to guide undergraduates through
some of the trickier areas of theoretical physics with concise
analysis while revealing the key elegance of each subject. The
first chapter introduces the key areas of the principle of least
action, an alternative treatment of Newtownian dynamics, that
provides new understanding of conservation laws. In particular, it
shows how the formalism evolved from Fermat's principle of least
time in optics. The second introduces special relativity leading
quickly to the need and form of four-vectors. It develops
four-vectors for all kinematic variables and generalize Newton's
second law to the relativistic environment; then returns to the
principle of least action for a free relativistic particle. The
third chapter presents a review of the integral and differential
forms of Maxwell's equations before massaging them to four-vector
form so that the Lorentz boost properties of electric and magnetic
fields are transparent. Again, it then returns to the action
principle to formulate minimal substitution for an electrically
charged particle.

This book and its prequel (Theories of Matter, Space, and Time:
Classical Theories) grew out of courses that are taught by the
authors on the undergraduate degree program in physics at
Southampton University, UK. The authors aim to guide the full MPhys
undergraduate cohort through some of the trickier areas of
theoretical physics that undergraduates are expected to master. To
move beyond the initial courses in classical mechanics, special
relativity, electromagnetism and quantum theory to more
sophisticated views of these subjects and their interdependence.
This approach keeps the analysis as concise and physical as
possible whilst revealing the key elegance in each subject
discussed.This second book of the pair looks at ideas to the arena
of Quantum Mechanics. First quickly reviewing the basics of quantum
mechanics which should be familiar to the reader from a first
course, it then links the Schrodinger equation to the Principle of
Least Action introducing Feynman's path integral methods. Next, it
presents the relativistic wave equations of Klein, Gordon and
Dirac. Finally, Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism are
converted to a wave equation for photons and make contact with
Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) at a first quantized level. Between
the two volumes the authors hope to move a student's understanding
from their first courses to a place where they are ready to embark
on graduate level courses on quantum field theory.
Giving someone feedback can be a daunting task for a
manager-especially when an employee is underperforming. To soften
the blow, we sometimes refer to difficult feedback as
"developmental" or "constructive." But these phrases rarely prompt
the type of productive conversations managers need to have with
team members.
Steve King, a longtime executive who has held leadership roles
with a variety of organizations, cuts to the chase with a simple
and tested framework on providing feedback.
Think of how great it would be to break through the typical
awkwardness of giving feedback and start having serious
conversations about performance, development, and careers.
Regardless of your role, if you want to give feedback to others
on a regular basis, you need a proven approach to improve the
quality of your conversations. It starts with four simple
words-"Brag, Worry, Wonder, Bet."

In 1856 J. C. Terrell, a young lawyer in his twenties, stepped off
a stagecoach in Fort Worth, intending to travel on to California.
Instead, he ran into an old classmate, Dabney C. Dade, who
convinced him to establish a practice in Fort Worth, a city then in
its infancy. In 1906 Terrell wrote his memories of those early
days. His choice of subject matter was eclectic. He wrote of
important settlers - E. M. Daggett and M. T. Johnson - and killing
hogs, patriotism in the schools, and a Confederate reunion. His
writing clearly reflects the attitudes and mores of the
turn-of-the-century. In an afterword written for this reprint
edition, Judge Steve King writes, ""Parts of our past are well
worth saving - to learn from and to emulate. Other parts are worth
preserving in works like this - perhaps more to study, remember,
and guard against their return."" Terrell's reminiscences give us
the only picture of Fort Worth in its first days written by someone
who lived the city's history. They also give a clear picture of the
author. What he wrote of Daggett and Johnson might well be said of
Terrell: ""Both were grand men, physically, morally, and mentally.
Neither were exemplary or saintly, yet both to us old settlers were
veritable heroes.
